By Hand & By Heart – A Summer Group Exhibition

Mash Gallery, North La Cienega Boulevard 812, 90069, West Hollywood

25. Juli 2026 – 29. August 2026

MASH Gallery presents "By Hand & By Heart," a summer group exhibition featuring eight artists who explore painting, mixed media, fiber, and sculptural installation. The exhibition emphasizes the process of creation, where material serves as a site for meaning rather than merely a means to an image. Each artist's unique approach highlights the inseparability of making and the final work. In contrast to mid-twentieth-century ideas of medium specificity, this exhibition showcases how painting can extend into relief and fiber can assert itself as sculpture, challenging traditional disciplinary boundaries. The focus shifts from what a medium should be to its potential for transformation. Texture and color are integral, with every mark and gesture reflecting the artist's hand. In an era dominated by digital production, the handmade emphasizes values of attention and labor. "By Hand & By Heart" features local, national, and international artists, advocating for fluidity in material practice and celebrating the expressive power of the hand in contemporary art.
